ANDREW J. BONA.
Thirty-one years of the life of Andrew J. Bona have been spent in
Stockton, where by close application to business and well-directed energy he has
gained success, being now the assistant cashier of the Bank of Italy in Stockton
and accounted one of the substantial citizens of this section. He was born at
Amador City, Cal., December 29, 1889. His father, a California pioneer, passed
away in 1891; and during the same year Andrew J., then two years old, was
brought by his mother to Stockton. Here he received his education at St. Mary's
College; later, in 1907, graduating from the Western School of Commerce.
Following his graduation, he entered the employ of the Holt Manufacturing
Company as bookkeeper, where he remained for one year. In April, 1910, he
entered the San Joaquin Valley Bank as a messenger boy. He became bookkeeper,
and then teller; and he is now assistant cashier and has full charge of the
foreign-collection department of the Bank of Italy in Stockton. Fraternally, he
is a member of the Stockton Parlor No. 7, N. S. G. W.; the Stockton Elks, No.
218; the Knights of Columbus; and the Stockton Italian Club. Mr. Bona is a busy
man, but finds time during the vacation period of each year to spend some time
in fishing and hunting, which are his favorite sports.
